My girlfriend and I saw Fahsai Homestay and noticed the outstanding reviews already on Airbnb. As we read more and more about it, we became more and more intrigued and excited. Going in our expectations were pretty high but I was a little apprehensive since it seemed a little to good to be true and the location was a bit farther away from some of the areas we wanted to travel to.
All I can say is that it was 1000% worth it. Checking in was a breeze as Nitaya provided great advice including a couple of options at different price ranges to travel from BKK. She even got on the phone with our drive to make sure he was able to find where to drop us off (the location is a little off the beat and path). Both Nitaya and her husband who is the 4th generation living in the main house, are two of the nicest people you can hope to meet. Their hospitality was off the charts and you truly feel at home even after only a three night stay. The traditional Thai breakfast they prepare is different each morning and was a great way to start the day. They even use fresh ingredients from their garden on the grounds.
As mentioned in their description, you are able to make your own coffee with beans they harvest from their own crops. The tour of their museum was very cool and unique. These experiences also served as a fun icebreaker when meeting the other guests and we got to meet some really cool people from all over the world. The only downside to the stay is that the location is a bit out of the way. Taxis are quite cheap (download grab app to get the best rates) and we ended up spending 3-6 dollars per ride. Most places of interest are between 15-30 minute drives. That being said, if you're looking for a truly unique experience I would highly recommend anyone to stay at Fahsai Homestay.
